MORE THAN A BIO

THIS IS
MY STORY.

I’m Travis, a Computer Science major at UCLA from Los Angeles who enjoys technology, gaming, music, anime, K-dramas, sports, traveling, working out, and online communities.

As a Computer Science major, I have experience with Python, Java, C++, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. I enjoy learning new technologies, improving my programming skills, and using code to turn ideas into real projects.

I’m Vietnamese and Korean, and I’m fluent in English, Korean, and Vietnamese. I enjoy learning more about both cultures, traveling, exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and making new memories. I also really enjoy working out and staying active.

I’m a huge FC Barcelona fan and have supported the club for years. Lionel Messi is my GOAT, and my current favorite player is Lamine Yamal. I also support the Spain National Team and the Korean National Team and enjoy following international football.

I’m a big basketball fan as well. Stephen Curry is my GOAT and one of my biggest inspirations in basketball. My current favorite player is Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs, and I enjoy watching games and following the NBA.

Gaming is another big hobby of mine. I enjoy playing Roblox, Minecraft, NBA 2K, EA Sports FC/FIFA, Forza Horizon 6, and Red Dead Redemption 2. I’m also a huge Final Fantasy fan, especially Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

Music is a huge part of what I enjoy. I’m a big K-pop fan, with ENHYPEN and BABYMONSTER being my favorite groups. Sunghoon and Ahyeon are my biases. Outside of K-pop, some of my favorite artists include Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Lil Tecca, Juice WRLD, Tate McRae, and The Kid LAROI. I enjoy discovering new music, listening to different genres, and keeping up with my favorite artists.

I also enjoy playing electric guitar. I love learning and practicing every day, especially working on songs that I already enjoy listening to. Guitar gives me a fun way to challenge myself, improve through practice, and experience my favorite music in a new way.

Anime and manga are a huge part of what I enjoy. Naruto: Shippuden was the first anime I ever watched, which makes it especially memorable to me. Some of my favorite anime include Jujutsu Kaisen, Solo Leveling, Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer, Classroom of the Elite, Blue Lock, Tokyo Ghoul, Chainsaw Man, One Piece, Spy × Family, Dragon Ball, and The Apothecary Diaries.

I also really enjoy romance anime, especially stories with unique relationship dynamics. Some of my favorites include The Ogre’s Bride, The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten, Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian, Horimiya, and 7th Time Loop. I especially enjoy the “rich girl and caretaker” type of romance story as well. Beyond watching anime, I enjoy reading manga and exploring different series beyond their anime adaptations.

I’m also a big K-drama fan. Some of my favorite K-dramas include Queen of Tears, Lovely Runner, Crash Landing on You, My Demon, Vincenzo, Descendants of the Sun, and All of Us Are Dead. I enjoy the romance, drama, characters, and storytelling that K-dramas bring, especially when a series has a strong emotional story that keeps me invested.

Overall, this website is my personal space where I can share a little about myself, my interests, the things I enjoy, and the communities I’m a part of.

LEARNING
EVERY DAY.

Playing electric guitar is one of the ways I connect with music beyond simply listening to it. I enjoy picking up the guitar every day, practicing consistently, and learning how to play songs that I already love.

Every new chord, riff, and song gives me something fresh to work toward. I like the process of improving little by little, building confidence, and hearing a song come together through practice.

How I Became a Barça Fan

I became an FC Barcelona fan in 2015, and it all started because of Lionel Messi—the greatest player of all time.

One day, I watched a highlight video of Messi, and what I saw immediately captured my attention. His dribbling, vision, goals, and ability to make the impossible look effortless made me interested in football. Soon afterward, I watched my first Barcelona match and began falling in love with the club.

I have supported Barça since the legendary 2015 treble-winning season. Watching the iconic MSN trio of Messi, Luis Suárez, and Neymar was unforgettable. They played with incredible chemistry, creativity, and joy, making Barcelona one of the most exciting teams football has ever seen.

My favorite achievement in the club’s history is the historic 2009 sextuple. It perfectly represents Barcelona at its greatest: beautiful football, world-class players, and a team built around a special generation from La Masia.

My saddest moment was when Messi left Barcelona in 2021. Seeing the greatest player in the club’s history leave without receiving the farewell he deserved was heartbreaking.

MY FAVORITE
BARCELONA NIGHTS.

These are the Barça matches and Messi performances I enjoy watching repeatedly.

2009 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL

Barcelona 2–0 Manchester United

This was one of the greatest nights in Barcelona’s history. Samuel Eto’o opened the scoring before Messi produced his unforgettable header over Edwin van der Sar to secure the victory.

It was the first Champions League final in which Messi played, and it featured his first major European showdown with Cristiano Ronaldo. Barcelona defeated Manchester United to win the club’s third European Cup and complete an incredible treble under Pep Guardiola. Although Messi had also received a winner’s medal in 2006, the 2009 final was the first Champions League triumph in which he played a decisive role on the field.

2011 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL

Barcelona 3–1 Manchester United

The 2011 final at Wembley was one of the finest team performances in Champions League history. Pedro opened the scoring before Wayne Rooney equalized, but Messi restored Barcelona’s lead with a brilliant strike. David Villa then completed the victory with a beautiful finish.

Barcelona dominated Manchester United with its passing, movement, pressing, and total control of the match. The victory secured the club’s fourth European Cup and confirmed that Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona was one of the greatest teams ever assembled.

2015 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL

Barcelona 3–1 Juventus

This match will always be special to me because it came during the season when I became a Barça fan. Ivan Rakitić scored early before Juventus equalized, but Luis Suárez restored Barcelona’s lead and Neymar sealed the victory in stoppage time.

Messi, Suárez, and Neymar completed an unforgettable season by leading Barcelona to its fifth Champions League title and second continental treble. The 2015 MSN attack was nearly unstoppable, and this final was the perfect ending to one of the greatest seasons in club history.

MAY 6, 2015

Barcelona 3–0 Bayern Munich

This Champions League semifinal was a Lionel Messi masterclass. After Bayern resisted Barcelona for most of the match, Messi suddenly changed everything.

He scored two brilliant goals, including the iconic moment when he dropped Jérôme Boateng to the ground before delicately chipping Manuel Neuer. Messi then assisted Neymar for the third goal, giving Barcelona a commanding advantage in the tie.

APRIL 23, 2017

Real Madrid 2–3 Barcelona

This is one of my favorite El Clásico matches ever. Messi delivered a legendary performance at the Santiago Bernabéu and scored his 500th official goal for Barcelona deep into stoppage time to win the match.

His celebration—holding his Barcelona shirt in front of the Real Madrid supporters—became one of the most iconic images in football history. It perfectly represented Messi’s greatness and his ability to silence the Bernabéu.

MAY 2, 2009

Real Madrid 2–6 Barcelona

Barcelona’s 6–2 victory at the Bernabéu was a historic demolition of Real Madrid. Messi played as a false nine, scored twice, and helped control the entire attack.

The movement and understanding between Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Thierry Henry, and Samuel Eto’o were extraordinary. This match was a defining moment in the 2008–09 season and showed the world how dominant Guardiola’s Barcelona had become.

MARCH 8, 2017

Barcelona 6–1 Paris Saint-Germain

The “Remontada” remains one of the most unbelievable comebacks in Champions League history. After losing the first leg 4–0, Barcelona needed a miracle at Camp Nou.

Barça scored three times before Edinson Cavani appeared to end the comeback, but the team refused to surrender. Neymar inspired the dramatic finish by scoring twice and assisting Sergi Roberto, who scored the legendary sixth goal in stoppage time. Messi also converted an important penalty as Barcelona completed an impossible 6–5 aggregate comeback.

APRIL 6, 2010

Barcelona 4–1 Arsenal

This match was another unforgettable Messi masterclass. After Arsenal scored first, Messi completely took over and scored all four of Barcelona’s goals.

His performance demonstrated everything that made him special: intelligent movement, close control, composure, acceleration, and clinical finishing. He almost single-handedly destroyed Arsenal and sent Barcelona into the Champions League semifinals.

2011 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMIFINAL

Real Madrid 0–2 Barcelona

Messi’s solo goal against Real Madrid in the 2011 Champions League semifinal is one of the greatest goals of his career.

After receiving a short touch from Sergio Busquets, Messi accelerated through the center of Real Madrid’s defense, glided past several players, and calmly placed the ball beyond Iker Casillas. Scoring such an extraordinary goal at the Bernabéu, in a Champions League semifinal against Barcelona’s greatest rival, made the moment even more legendary.

02 / LA MASIA

BUILT FROM
WITHIN.

One of the biggest reasons I love Barça is La Masia. Barcelona believes in developing young players, teaching them the club’s identity, and giving them opportunities in the first team. Instead of relying only on expensive signings, Barça has produced generations of extraordinary footballers.

  • Andrés Iniesta
  • Xavi Hernández

03 / FOREVER BLAUGRANA

From the unforgettable days of Messi, Suárez, and Neymar to the current era of Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, my love for Barcelona has never changed. Messi will always be my GOAT, and Lamine Yamal is my favorite current Barça player.

I hope that one day I can watch this young team, filled with talented La Masia players, lift the UEFA Champions League trophy. It would mean so much to see Barcelona return to the top of European football with a new generation representing the club’s identity.

I also hope Messi receives a proper farewell match at Barcelona before he retires. He gave everything to the club but never got the goodbye he deserved when he left. Seeing him return to a packed Camp Nou for one final celebration would be an emotional and unforgettable moment.

For me, Barça is the greatest club in football history. I will proudly support this club until the day I die.
